A Georgia mom is facing charges after her 7-year-old daughter was found decaying in a closet of a vacant apartment, police say.
Alondra Hobbs, 27, was arrested and charged on Thursday with felony murder and cruelty in the second degree in connection with the June 25 death of daughter, Alivia Hobbs-Jordan, the DeKalb County Police Department said. Police reportedly say that the child was likely left inside the closet, where she was found in a stroller, sometime between February and June.
According to a police incident report obtained by The Daily Beast, officers responded to the apartment on Misty Waters Drive at around 9:17 p.m. after receiving a report about an “8-10 year-old juvenile deceased in the closet.” When police arrived, a neighbor told an officer that she had not seen the tenant of the apartment “for a couple of months” and believed she had moved out.
